Any
  fault   resulting   in   the   illumination   of   a   warning   lamp   must   be   investigated   further   using   the   associated   message.
If
  you   encounter   any   problems,   contact   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest   items   are   as   close   as  
p

ossible   to   the   axle   and   the   nose   weight  
a

pproaches   the   maximum   permitted  
w

ithout   exceeding   it.
ai

r density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing
  engine   per formance.   Above  
1 0

00 metres,   the   maximum   towed   load   must  
b

e   reduced   by   10 %   for   every   1 000   metres   of  
al

titude.
Side wind
F Take   into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature. F
 
I
f   the   warning   lamp   and   the  
S

TOP
 
warning   lamp   come   on,  
s

top the vehicle and switch off
the
  engine   as   soon   as   possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check   the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of
 
the
 
weights
 
and
 
towed
 
loads
 
which
 
apply
 
to
 
y

our
 
vehicle.
When
 
not
 
towing
 
a
 
trailer,
 
remove
 
the
 
q

uickly-detachable
 
tow
 
ball
 
before
 
d

riving. The
  rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated   automatically   if   a   genuine
